- raincole 9mo agoBillions of people don't use calendar apps so they're useless; just remember your meetings. Billions of people don't use todo list apps so they're useless; just remember what to do. Billions of people don't use post-its apps so they're useless; just remember what you're going to write down. Billions of people don't have cars; just walk. You can dismiss any invention since industrial revolution with this logic.
- louiereederson 9mo agoThe point, as I noted below, is that this is an impractical solution. You can justify the value of any ridiculous invention by comparing it to a world-changing invention.
- hamdingers 9mo agoYou have soundly defeated that strawman, well done.
- trouble3968 9mo agoFunnily enough at least in my personal anecdotic case it works about like that. I do just remember when my meetings will be (or look up where the meeting was decided on), do try to remember what I had planned (sometimes I forget, but almost always for the better), and written notes are rare enough that pen and paper are sufficient. And also don't have a driver license. I don't think my case is exactly rare, even among softdev croud.
